New hobby
« on: January 19, 2011, 02:12:32 PM »
Hi MWF,

Have been reading this forum a lot for the past few months, but only joined recently.

Previously spent a lot of dough on my other interests, ie cars and props. Now knuckle down a bit and maybe (with wifey's blessing) get a few more in my collection. My collection is very modest compared with sifus here. Seiko, swatch, gshock... Just bought a rollie as a first major purchase and now looking at panerais.

Hope to learn more from u guys.  :thumbsup:
 :Cheers:

Thanks! Bought the sub c. Very generic watch so no need wrist shots?  ;D

Yes seems like it's going to be expensive, but it's much tamer compared with what u need to fork out for cars and properties!  Already getting earful from the wifey :Scolding:

Am looking at the pam 312, 359, 351, 88 and maybe 29. Any recommendation on gd place to source them?

You will realize that this is a very expensive hobby.
Wait till your wife asks for a piece of the action... I guarantee u more headache...  :HammerHead:

You: Dear, I'm gonna get that PAM I've been lusting for all year.
Wife: Well, if you have to... sure, go ahead... how much is it anyway?
You: Around 15k... I can manage.
Wife: Alright, just make sure you get something for me too yeah?
You: Will a swatch do?  ::)
Wife: Honey, don't joke around k? Get me something worth at least half of what u spend for yourself ya?
You:   :Startled:

Well, no pain no gain... enjoy...
